Hello, my friends! (I borrowed that from John McCain, lol) It's high time I got back to my blogging!

BLESSINGS :

It was a crazy week, but brother Paul is home now--a little worse for the wear and tear, but in good spirits and happy to be home. Thank God. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart--all of you who stopped by with a kind word, and a hug, and a prayer for him and us---you have no idea how much it means to me! I LOVE you gals!!

I so enjoyed my last giveaway!!--and the lovely MaryMarsh was so pleased with her prize that she wrote me a nice little piece in her blog. Thanks MaryMarsh--you're a sweety!!

Speaking of Giveaways.....I was the extremely lucky winner of a giveaway by StarryDeborah. She is a very talented mixed media collage artist and I won this GORGEOUS Paris collage from her! Oh, I just love it, and am a little sad that the picture doesn't do it justice! I guess that is the way it is with most art, right? There is so much more to it in person...depth and texture and emotion. Thanks so much StarryDeb--I absolutely love it and it looks so good on my blue wall!

BIRDIES:

I did a new style of birds this past week--you know, just shaking things up a bit! This style is more old-fashioned and lends itself very well to vintagey wallpaper prints --see for yourself!

I love them! Of course, I am still doing my old style too and have some new ones in the SHOP that have some nice Christmas colors--swing by and see!

BABIES:

You will never guess what? I became a Grandma yesterday!!! Remember my step-daughter Misty? Well, surprise, surprise....she was pregnant and didn't tell us. It's all a bit of a soap opera and I won't go into details but--good always comes from bad--and we have a GRANDCHILD to go meeet today!

AND--our lovely and talented friend PINKY had her baby on Sept 31st--and put up pics of the little fella on her blog --swing by for a nice AWWWWW! moment.

Babies, birdies and blessings...Thank God for them all! So happy that your brother is home now. Your new birdies are adorable as always! Love it that you have a new grand baby!! Can't wait to see photos!

Congratulations on the newest member of your family.I read your comment on Maryjo's blog, I am the editor, Karen. I am working on an article showcasing crafts, fabrics and trims. Do you use materials from Mary Jo's? Do you have a project or 2 you could share? I will link the article to your blog and or Etsy shop.Thanks in advance for your response.kdb@maryjos.com

I am SUPER glad to hear that about your brother! YAY!! AND, you get to be a g-ma?? How awesome is that??? Thanks for the love for me and my new baby. Crocheting amuses him, so I'm still being able to be a little crafty. HUGS!!!

p.s. he LOVES the music on your site. Seriously, sometimes I come over here just so he can chill and listen. The Oreo song is his favorite! HA!
